Ah thanks very much for the response. I will go this way. Once I have the edit locked I can then export clips from PP into After Effects to add animations and effects where required. Thanks again

Ivan tanks a lot. Very good advice. Had a few scares but hopefully sorted out. Mp4’s were hanging on first image for 30 seconds plus before the media player started playing them – nerve-wracking! Is this to do with file size? If so which elements in the rendering process can i tweak or is it a bad media player?
Thanks again for all you help.

Hi Ivan. Thanks very much for that very helpful.

So just to clarify is it best to render straight to AME – as you suggest – drag the after effects project straight into the queue in AME – rather than rendering out from AE using the lossless Animation codec/format, then opening this up in AME and rendering it out as H64 from there? I was doing it this way and getting big file sizes which my media player was having trouble with nearlt 4 GB for a 20 minute b&w film at 1200 x 1980/ 25 frames.

Your method seems to have reduced the files size down to 700MB – I’m rendering now – hopefully the quality will be good. I’ll let you know .

Thanks again for the help – much appreciated

July 14, 2010 at 11:11 pm in reply to: Problems creating an animation in PS and FCP

I think I;m getting there

Are there any problems with this workflow?

I’ve remade the animations as psd files at 1920×1080. I’ve animated the layers of the individual files using PS animation feature – each file contains from 10 to 15 layers and 5 to 15 second long sequences So far, this is good for me because I am familiar with PS, Dave suggested AE but I haven’t used it before. I have also found that I can then export these files from PS as movies using either Apple ProRes 422 at a rate of 25fps, or using the animation codec. I can then line these files up on a timeline in FCP, using compatible codec, and output at high resolution for DVD, projection or lower for web streaming.

will I have any problems with 19×9 ratio on the web?

How can I stream on the web at 16 x 9 and get the best quality

Any suggestions..?
